APPS for tracking or Any other good APPS for WLS patients?

Was wondering If anyone has a user friendly app for tracking what you eat during the day especially Protein and calories. I am not a big fan of My fitness Pal as I can't seem to be able to put in the exact amount ...ex 1.5 ounces chicken. .

You can log exact amount in MFP. However, I have a friend that uses Lose It and know other folks who track on Spark people.

I like Fat Secret. It's very easy and includes restaurants and exercise too.

You can change the amount, it took me a while to find out how to do it too -- just select the amount and put the actual amount you ate.

I also find its better to err on the side of more than less just for my calorie count now (but not something you need to worry about right away anyway).

I haven't used any of the other food counter apps, but I have a few other ones I use.

I have a Fitbit Aria scale, and track weight there. It syncs with www.trendweight.com (which also syncs with some other scales Withings, I think and I don't recall what else) and projects data and weight loss trends.

I have a Fitbit Force -- but this has just been recalled due to skin irritation issues -- and because I have a small irritated spot, I've discontinued use of that tracker in the meantime. However, I will say that having a tracker similar to a Fitbit is EXTREMELY awesome. There are lots on the market right now.

YMMV on how much data you like to have though, as I know not everyone likes the amount of data and stats I do.

Good luck on your journey!

I use lose it as well.

I use Mynetdiary.com, Fitbit One, Aria scale, Bodytrack.it and Bariatric Pal. MND, FB and Aria all sync together tracking weight, food, exercise and fluids. Bodytrack.it keeps measurements and pictures - so you can see your progress. There is a lot out there - check everything out and see what you like best. ????

I use loseit! I've also tried MFP but, I like Loseit better! I got the Loseit scale also. That's pretty cool because when you weigh yourself, it automatically enters into the APP!
